An interesting article on Bitcoin’s supply being fixed (article at bottom). And my article on Bitcoin covers the consensus of people running the software that sets the version. And of the 67,000 nodes, 19,000 active, I run two, a Raspberry…
I’m not one that would use DoorDash or Grubhub with improperly vetted delivery drivers. Once we ordered a pizza from a local business that used to have their own delivery driver, but it came by one of these gig economy…
A nice write up on the new version release. I use VMware Workstation on my Win 10 box to run Linux virtual machines where I do all my work in except playing a couple games, and I’ve been using it…
Interesting opinion piece by Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols who I’ve been reading for decades regarding open source. Consequently, this is a WordPress blog run as a Docker container module with a MariaDB module to support it along with NginxProxyManager module to…
Interesting opinion piece which is UK based, and what they do over there eventually works its way to us, like Bovaer. Banning wood stoves and the digital ID points are of interest to me. Also of interest, is the EU…

If not for KDE this would probably be the Linux desktop environment I’d run. I do run it on occasion with my Debian Unstable virtual machine, and it’s all themed and beautified in case they break KDE with an update.…
(Headline article below) They say no purpose, but I once used my handgun to scare off an elk on the Lost Coast of California which is a wonderful backpacking and hiking area (north of where Hwy 1 turns inland because…
To start off, I don’t trust these NGOs like Amnesty International (or Google’s involvement), as a lot of intelligence operations have migrated to NGOs like the color revolution of Ukraine in 2014. And NGOs are easily captured with large donations…
This is bad form from Broadcom, admitting that their margin is 70% on VMware products after trying to juice a bunch of clients with fee changes and increases, to the point that AT&T sued them and many customers were jumping…
